Here's an odd and sad follow-up to the murder of Johnny Flobeck that I just noticed: News 8 Austin | 24 Hour Local News | LOCAL NEWS | $79 million judgment against Ryan Grady
The parents of a student at The University of Texas killed in 2002 will get up to $79 million.
A judge ordered Ryan Grady to pay that amount to the parents of Johnny Flobeck.
Grady was acquitted last year of murdering Flobeck but found guilty of aggravated assault.
During a fight, Grady hit Flobeck over the head with a steering wheel anti-theft lock device.
Both men were UT students at the time. Flobeck's parents filed the wrongful death suit after the criminal trial ended.
A promising life cut short by an act of rage and stupidity.
